Staying frozen

I'm not an actor so I don't know the answer to this question, but what is the methodology for staying so still?

In other words, I notice that there are several scenes in this film where people stay still for a really long time but as a person who can't do this, I'm wondering if there is a technique they use or something?

As the goofs section notes, there are examples where people move and stuff but it's still really well done in this movie.

Thanks in advance!

I presume it was probably a mix of masking, models and actors standing still.

Idiot. You wouldn't have the mentioned goofs of eyes blinking when using CGI. Think about it. Idiot.

Possibly more just editing, selecting takes which had the best performance from the lead along with the best stillness from the frozens
